Depth Psychotherapy

What is Depth Psychotherapy?

Depth psychology views our everyday difficulties as symptoms of underlying core assumptions about how we view life and our place in it. Our dreams and other unconscious material give us undefended clues about these deeper core assumptions. Often the most powerful and enduring positive change comes from achieving greater understanding of such core beliefs and how they fuel the symptoms (such as anxiety or depression) in our daily lives.
